Zhang Cheng's promotion of cadres has always been based only on ability, conduct, qualifications, age, these things he has always paid attention to, coupled with his great prestige as a teacher, even if someone opposes it, he can't change his decision. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Cheng continued to announce the establishment of the next eight infantry brigades: "Chen Zhengxiang served as the commander of the first brigade, Liu Yutang, political commissar, and Lin Yongjie, chief of staff, with the jurisdiction of the first regiment, the second regiment, and the third regiment, with a total strength of 10,000 troops.

Ding Wei concurrently served as the commander of the Second Brigade, political commissar Chen Zhongchun, and chief of staff Li Moran, with jurisdiction over the fourth, fifth, and sixth regiments, with a total strength of 10,000 troops.

Zhou Weiguo concurrently served as the commander of the Third Brigade, political commissar Li Wenjie, and chief of staff Li Dachao, with jurisdiction over the seventh, eighth, and ninth regiments, with a total strength of 10,000 troops.

Huang Dingji served as the commander of the Fourth Brigade, political commissar Tan Yunkai, and chief of staff Xie Ming, with jurisdiction over the 10th, 11th, and 12th regiments, with a total strength of 10,000 troops.

Zhang Wenlong served as the commander of the 5th Brigade, the political commissar Cai Shubing, and the chief of staff Sun Wenhua, with jurisdiction over the 13th, 14th, and 15th regiments, with a total strength of 10,000 troops.

Li Yunqiang served as the commander of the Sixth Brigade, political commissar Zhao Yuan, and chief of staff Yang Silu, with jurisdiction over the 16th, 17th, and 18th regiments, with a total strength of 10,000 troops.

Yang Zi served as the commander of the Seventh Brigade, Cheng Cuilin, political commissar, and Jiang Yonghui, chief of staff, with jurisdiction over the 19th, 20th, and 21st regiments, with a total strength of 10,000 troops.

Deng Hua served as the commander of the Eighth Brigade, political commissar Peng Sheng, and chief of staff Yuan Peijue, with jurisdiction over the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th regiments, with a total strength of 10,000 troops.

To sum up, after the expansion of the Central Instructor of the Eighth Route Army and the appointment of cadres, the total strength of our instructor will reach an astonishing 130,000 after the expansion, and if we count the flying aviation regiment, the establishment will be even more terrifying.

Comrades, this is the case for the time being, but I assure you that when we destroy more Japanese troops and seize larger territory, our instructors will continue to expand, and comrades who have not taken up higher posts should not be discouraged, as long as we continue to win battles, we will have more opportunities to teach our instructors, and maybe our division will be upgraded to columns, corps, and even field armies in the future! ”

Originally, those comrades who did not take advantage of this expansion opportunity to take up higher posts were still a little discouraged, but after hearing Zhang Cheng's promise and the blueprint drawn, their eyes lit up and their mood was greatly invigorated.

The division commander is right, it has only been less than half a year since the all-out war of resistance began, and there will be more opportunities for a big battle in the future, as long as you continue to follow the division commander to fight devils and make enough contributions, where can you worry about not being able to rise!

After the announcement of the complete compilation order, the instructor's large-scale costume change and adaptation was vigorously carried out, such a large-scale costume change operation was undoubtedly very cumbersome, and Zhang Cheng, who had always been lazy, had to stay in the barracks all day, so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

In particular, the newly built unit of the armored brigade, whether it is the brigade commander Li Yunlong or the political commissar Liu Guanlou, can be described as a blind eye to the armored troops, and they have to learn everything from scratch, but fortunately, their learning ability is very good, and seeing that the speed of their progress is changing with each passing day, Zhang Cheng, who is in charge of teaching, has also passed the addiction of "being a good teacher", and has a great sense of achievement.

The soldiers of the armored brigade are all carefully selected cultural soldiers from various units, and these soldiers are all among the top in the previous competitions of learning culture, and their learning ability is also good, and even the instructors sent by the Soviet Union are full of praise for them.

The deputy commander of the armored brigade is Lu Zhongliang, the deputy commander of the former cavalry brigade, Lu Zhongliang has been a cavalryman all his life, Zhang Cheng believes that the cavalry and the armored force have something in common, and also emphasizes the offensive and mobile capabilities, so Zhang Cheng transferred Lu Zhongliang from the cavalry brigade and served as the deputy commander of the more important armored brigade.

Lu Zhongliang was very satisfied with this transfer, he had always felt inferior to himself as a member of the Ma Jiajun before, and was afraid that Zhang Cheng would marginalize him, but this time Zhang Cheng transferred him from the cavalry brigade to the more important armored brigade, which showed that Zhang Cheng treated him equally with other old Red Army, which made Lu Zhongliang very moved, and even gave birth to the idea of dying as a confidant, and vowed to work hard among the instructors and fight for Zhang Cheng's face.

As for Yang Zi, Deng Hua, Cheng Cuilin, Liu Guanlou and others who were recruited from other units, they all jumped from regimental-level cadres to brigade-level cadres who mastered 10,000 troops.

More than a week later, the big costume change and big adaptation of the instructors finally came to an end, and the big training movement was in full swing.

Under Zhang Cheng's strict orders, the units that had just completed their reorganization ushered in what could be called hellish hard training, especially the technical arms such as armored brigades, heavy artillery brigades, air defense regiments, and flight regiments.

Only by mastering these heavy weapons as soon as possible and giving full play to the power of these weapons can the instructors' combat effectiveness be raised to a higher level and become the strongest troops in Asia.

Now Zhang Cheng is confident that the instructor is already the strongest army in the country, but this does not satisfy Zhang Cheng, because the enemy of the instructor is the strongest Japanese army in Asia, and in order to defeat the Japanese army armed to the teeth, the instructor needs to become the strongest army in Asia.

Time flies, and soon entered the first month of 1938, as the heavy snow fell, during this time the land of North China suddenly calmed down, whether it was the Japanese army, the Kuomintang army or the Eighth Route Army, in this unusually cold weather have died down, into a long period of tranquility.

However, whether it was the Japanese army, the Kuomintang army, or the Eighth Route Army, they all deeply understood that the battle in 1938 would be more intense, and that the calm during this period was only that the three parties were accumulating stronger forces in order to explode into a greater flood force in the future.

As a traverser, Zhang Cheng understood that 1938 would be a very important year in the all-out war of resistance, and on the frontal battlefield, the Japanese army would launch two unprecedented battles in Xuzhou and Wuhan in succession, trying to destroy the main force of the Kuomintang army in one fell swoop.

Historically, although the Kuomintang army was defeated in two battles one after another, there were also inspiring victories such as the Taierzhuang victory and the Wanjialing victory, which eliminated a large number of the Japanese army's vital forces, so that its attempt to quickly destroy China was shattered, and it was no longer able to launch a large-scale strategic offensive against the Kuomintang region, so that the all-out war of resistance entered a stalemate stage.

With such an unprecedentedly powerful force in hand, although Zhang Cheng is powerless to change on the frontal battlefield, Zhang Cheng is full of strength on the battlefield behind enemy lines to turn the occupied area upside down!
